Robbery outside fast-food eatery reported

A woman reported being robbed at gunpoint of cash and a cell phone on Monday night as she sat with an acquaintance in a car outside the McDonald's on Grand River east of Inkster Road. No one was hurt.

The victim told police she was sitting in the driver's seat of a Toyota Corolla when a male teenager approached, opened the passenger door behind her and pointed a pistol at her, according to a Redford Township Police Department report.

He reached into the center console, picked up her wallet and took cash from it, and also took her phone, she said. The robber then fled on foot, climbing a wall in the rear of the lot, she said. Her male companion was not robbed, she said.

Later, while investigating the robbery nearby, an officer stopped a male who partially fit the description of the robber. The officer searched him for weapons. None were found, but he was arrested for driving without a license in his possession, police said.

Home break-in

Power tools and boxes of wood flooring were reported stolen Monday from a house on Brady north of Schoolcraft Road after a break-in there.

Police said the complainant arrived Monday morning to find the handle to the front door had been removed and the house left unsecured. The break-in occurred between late on Jan. 14 and early Monday, police said.

Van gone

A Chevrolet work van and roughly $3,000 worth of tools tools in it were reported stolen Tuesday from TFT Motors, an automobile customizing shop on Plymouth Road east of Beech Daly.

The theft occurred shortly before 6 p.m., a police report said. The complainant told police he had left the van unlocked and the keys in the ignition while he was at the shop, and walked out of the building at one point to see the van was not where he had parked it. He then saw the van turning onto eastbound Plymouth Road, he said, but could not see who was driving it.

Police searched the area for the van but did not locate it.

Rental car theft

A car was reported stolen Tuesday morning from outside Art's Collision & Auto Repair on Telegraph north of Five Mile.

The complainant told police her ex-boyfriend had taken the rental car after they drove it together to the shop to pick up another vehicle that had been repaired there. He drove off, she said, while she was waiting for the repaired vehicle to be brought to her.
